He plans his escape with fellow prisoners Lenny Drake (Joe Fiennes, a Guildhall class mate of Damian’s!), Brodie (Liam Cunningham), Batista (Seu Jorge) and Lacey (Dominic Cooper). This makes Frank to think about escaping. You feel very disturbed by the place.įrank Perry (a BRILLIANT Brian Cox for whom it turns out Rupert Wyatt wrote this role!) is in prison for life and he has made his peace with the fact that he will never see outside life again… Until he gets a letter, the first one in 14 years, that his beloved daughter is a drug addict and, following an episode of overdose, she is critically ill. You, in fact, live the violence without even seeing it. It is a healthy combination of an action movie and an art house movie giving you the grim prison life. But not your typical prison escape movie. The Escapist premiere at the Sundance Film Festival, source: Getty Images The film premiered at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival to critical applause.
